Mayckol Stepped in the Guaipe

Overall, the M’s bullpen dominated the opposition this past week. However, the squeaky wheel was Mayckol Guaipe. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits across 5 innings of work. Guaipe struck out 4 and walked 2 in three appearances.

Guaipe was recalled from Tacoma at the end of April, and he has struggled in limited action with the Mariners. He currently sports 6.35 ERA across four appearances. Guaipe has surrendered 6 runs on 8 hits through 5.2 innings.

At his current pace, it’s hard to foresee Mayckol spending much more time in Seattle. He has not looked overly comfortable on the mound, and he likely needs a bit more seasoning with the Rainiers.
